Crown Urges FCC to Adopt Clear Pole Replacement Cost-Sharing Methodology
Inside Towers highlighted Crown Castle’s comment to the FCC on pole replacements. Crown Castle and other commenters proposed cost allocation methodologies that account for the incremental cost of replacement caused by the attacher as well as the benefits utilities receive from the new pole. Crown recommends the FCC adopt a cost-sharing mechanism for pole replacements that more clearly allocates costs between “cost causers” and beneficiaries.
